Armanini, S.F. (author), Karasek, M. (author), de Visser, C.C. (author)Taking full advantage of the favorable flight properties of biologically inspired flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles requires having insight into their dynamics and providing adequate control in all flight conditions. Because of the high complexity of flapping flight and limited availability of accurate flight data, however, global models are...journal article 2018

Alonso-Mora, J. (author), Montijano, Eduardo (author), Nägeli, Tobias (author), Hilliges, Otmar (author), Schwager, Mac (author), Rus, Daniela (author)This paper presents a distributed method for formation control of a homogeneous team of aerial or ground mobile robots navigating in environments with static and dynamic obstacles. Each robot in the team has a finite communication and visibility radius and shares information with its neighbors to coordinate. Our approach leverages both...journal article 2018

(author), Kelder, E.M. (author), Wagemaker, M. (author)The high Li-ion conductivity of the argyrodite Li<sub>6</sub>PS<sub>5</sub>Cl makes it a promising solid electrolyte candidate for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries. For future application, it is essential to identify facile synthesis procedures and to relate the synthesis conditions to the solid electrolyte material performance. Here, a...journal article 2018

Borobia-Moreno, R. (author), Sánchez-Arriaga, Gonzalo (author), Serino, A. (author), Schmehl, R. (author)A flight-path reconstruction algorithm for tethered aircraft, which is based on an extended Kalman filter, is presented. The algorithm is fed by the measurements of a set of onboard and ground-based instruments and provides the optimal estimation of the system state-space trajectory, which includes typical aircraft variables such as position and...journal article 2018

Jesus de Moraes, R. (author), Rodrigues, José R.P. (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author), Jansen, J.D. (author)A generic framework for the computation of derivative information required for gradient-based optimization using sequentially coupled subsurface simulation models is presented. The proposed approach allows for the computation of any derivative information with no modification of the mathematical framework. It only requires the forward model...journal article 2018

Smirnova, Vera B. (author), Proskurnikov, A.V. (author), Utina, Natalia V. (author), Titov, Roman V. (author)Systems that can be decomposed as feedback interconnections of stable linear blocks and periodic nonlinearities arise in many physical and engineering applications. The relevant models e.g. describe oscillations of a viscously damped pendulum, synchronization circuits (phase, frequency and delay locked loops) and networks of coupled power...conference paper 2018

Hosseinimehr, S.M. (author), Arbarim, R.B. (author), Cusini, M. (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author)Accurate numerical simulation of coupled fluid flow and heat transfer in heterogeneous geothermal reservoirs demand for high resolution computational grids. The resulting fine-scale discrete systems--though crucial for accurate predictions--are typically upscaled to lower resolution systems due to computational efficiency concerns. Therefore,...conference paper 2018

Rossi, L.C.G. (author), Stam, D.M. (author)The circular polarization of light that planets reflect is often neglected because it is very small compared to the linear polarization. It could, however, provide information on a planet’s atmosphere and surface, and on the presence of life, because homochiral molecules that are the building blocks of life on Earth are known to reflect...journal article 2018

(author)The analysis of the unsteady flow field of an axisymmetric subsonic jet at Reynolds numbers between 5,000 and 20,000 and computation of its unsteady pressure field is carried out from single snapshots of tomographic PIV measurements (acquisition rate 0.8 Hz). This is achieved by a recently developed pressure-evaluation technique based upon...conference paper 2018

Roungas, V. (author), Meijer, Sebastiaan (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Simulations are the core of every railway system. Changes in the timetable and the infrastructure, or even in the internal processes of a railway company should be, and usually are, first tested through simulations. Given their significance and potential impact, simulations should be primarily validated; validation ensures-at least to some...journal article 2018

Hutter, E.M. (author), Gelvez Rueda, M.C. (author), Bartesaghi, D. (author), Grozema, F.C. (author), Savenije, T.J. (author)Recently, halide double perovskites (HDPs), such as Cs<sub>2</sub>AgBiBr<sub>6</sub>, have been reported as promising nontoxic alternatives to lead halide perovskites. However, it remains unclear whether the charge-transport properties of these materials are as favorable as for lead-based perovskites. In this work, we study the mobilities of...journal article 2018

El Gawhary, O. (author), Van Mechelen, T. (author), Urbach, Paul (author)Electromagnetic fields carry a linear and an angular momentum, the first being responsible for the existence of the radiation pressure and the second for the transfer of torque from electromagnetic radiation to matter. The angular momentum is considered to have two components, one due to the polarization state of the field, usually called...journal article 2018

Vaibhav, V.K. (author)It is demonstrated in this letter that linear multistep methods for integrating ordinary differential equations can be used to develop a family of fast forward scattering algorithms with higher orders of convergence. Excluding the cost of computing the discrete eigenvalues, the nonlinear Fourier transform (NFT) algorithm thus obtained has a...journal article 2018

Viebahn, Peter (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author)For many years, carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been discussed as a technology that may make a significant contribution to achieving major reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. At present, however, only two large-scale power plants capture a total of 2.4 Mt CO<sub>2</sub>/a. Several reasons are identified for this mismatch between...journal article 2018

(author)When boring a tunnel with a tunnel boring machine (TBM) through stiff clays, clay tends to stick to the cutting wheel, to the inside of the excavation chamber and in the slurry transportation line. Several solutions are available to prevent the adherence of clay, but these are not always satisfactory. An alternative solution may be the use of...conference paper 2018

Kartashova, T. (author), de Ridder, H. (author), te Pas, S.F. (author), Pont, S.C. (author)In this article, we studied perception of a particular case of light fields that is characterized by a difference in its consistent structure between parts of a scene. In architectural lighting design, such a consistent structure in a part of a light field is called a light zone. First, we explored whether human observers are sensitive to...journal article 2018
